    Top night shows and excellent children animationT
    07 Oct , 2019 Crazy I
    Very nice swimming pool,the garden is excellent,all the team for children animation(especially Victor) were very friendly and did a great job.The night shows were great and couldn't been better!!! Also the chief of restaurant Mr.Lamprinidis was very friendly and helpful and made good dinner.The personal of serving the meals were very friendly (especially Maria).We didn't book all inclusive,because we didn't want to eat so much-however in the evening they charge non alcoholic beveradges,which we think is exaggerated(because in other similar hotels we got for same price all inclusive!) Beach is only average,because if there are high waves you can't go into the sea,because there are rocks in the sea which could hurt you.The fitness room team was very helpful with good advice( Mr.Panos) For the price we paid we should have 2 rooms (one for parents and one for the child),we had 1 room with adhesive couch for child-a real bed for child would be better.Altogether it was a nice holiday.
    Great

    This hotel is a bit tired but the staff without exception couldn't do enough for you and more than made up for this. Both the maitre d in the snack bar and the main restaurant where exceptionally helpful and showed us many Greek foods and ideas. The food was varied and plenty of it. The chefs also helpful The a la carte restaurants also worth a visit All the waiters were friendly and efficient. The hotel was clean with daily towel changes and bed linen changed every other day. The pool area was lovely with plenty of sun beds, sunshade. Always beds available. The beach was shingle. The sea was quite rough during our stay so unable to snorkel The animation team also really friendly. Will not name names as you all were amiable friendly and chatty I would return to this hotel
    Absolutely chilled paradise!

    Have just got home from an amazing week at Knossos Royal. Still tearing up every time I think about it as miss it so much! Could not have asked for a more relaxed and beautiful hotel. Never had such nice food from an all inclusive buffet! Couldn’t fault it at all. Location was stunning with a lovely beach at the bottom of the hotel with nice warm sea to swim in. Animation staff were great! Very welcoming and friendly and always happy to chat and have a laugh! They work so hard and do such a good job. Special mentions to Giorgio, Roberto and Nadia... all great personalities! The shows in the evenings we felt were more geared up for kids, would have been good to have some Greek dancing/bands or something but we still enjoyed them. Would have liked better cocktails and more options alcohol wise for the all inclusive but that’s just a small negative! Would definitely recommend the hotel and hope to return one day in the future!
    Beautiful

    Just returned from a lovely week here, the grounds are stunning and very well kept. All staff were very friendly and helpful at all times. We arrived late and were presented with a wrap and a bottle of wine in the room which was a nice touch!.. the rooms were very spacious and spotlessly clean, attended to every day with clean towels and products. Food at the buffet restaurant has a great choice and catered well for my friend who has a gluten allergy. Would definitely recommend!.. it is about a 30 minute walk into main hersonissos and the walk is a very dark hilly route, but costs only €8 in a taxi which is easy to access via the hotel or in the town to return.
